The Tennessee Titans will try to win their second consecutive game for the first time this season when they take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
The Colts beat the Titans, 23-16, in Week 5 in a game that was a close contest until the final whistle. That game was the beginning of the end for the Titans’ dominant run defense, as they allowed 193 yards that day and have never been the same since.
Most of those yards (165) came from Colts running back Zack Moss, and the Titans can expect to see a lot more of him this weekend after it was reported that Jonathan Taylor needed to have thumb surgery and would miss at least a couple of weeks.
On the Titans’ front, they received some good news at the start of the practice week. Wide receiver Treylon Burks returned to practice in a limited capacity for the first time since suffering a devastating concussion injury against the Steelers back on Nov. 2. The Arkansas product remains in concussion protocol, but this is a massive step in the right direction toward getting back on the field sooner rather than later.
On a more concerning note, quarterback Will Levis was limited today with an ankle injury. Videos posted by the Titans local media appeared to show Levis laboring when he was forced to push off the hurt ankle. This one definitely bears watching as the week progresses.
